Year: 1979 This report describes work by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) on the development of hot dry rock as a geothermal energy source conducted during fiscal year 1978 (FY78: October 1, 1977 through September 30, 1978). During this period, significant technical progress was made at the first development and demonstration site, which was located at Fenton Hill, New Mexico. The demonstration of technological feasibility by this project prompted the Department of Energy (DOE) to expand it into a program of national scope Title: Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Program, Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1978 Author: Brown, M.C.

Year: 1979 The potential of energy extracted from hot dry rock (HDR) was investigated as a commercially feasible alternate energy source. Run segments 3 and 4 were completed in the prototype reservoir of the Phase I energy-extraction system at Fenton Hill, New Mexico. Results of these tests yielded significant data on the existing system and this information will be applicable to future HDR systems. Plans and operations initiating a Phase II system are underway at the Fenton Hill site. This system, a deeper, hotter commercial-size reservoir, is intended to demonstrate the longevity and economics of an HDR system. Major activity occurred in evaluation of the national resource potential and in characterizing possible future HDR geothermal sites. Work has begun in the institutional and industrial support area to assess the economics and promote commercial interest in HDR systems as an alternate energy source Title: Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Development Program.
